Venomics Display

The severity of a snakebite envenomation is related to the amount of venom injected and its composition of toxins. We have developed a linear visualization tool for better display of venomics data. Our tools, Relative Abundance Display and Absolute Abundance Display, are developed to help guide venom and antivenom researchers with an intuitive overview of venom compositions, and the amount of toxins likely to be injected by various venomous snakes. Relative Abundance Display and Absolute Abundance Display may also help clinicians in predicting development of envenoming symptoms by providing a quick and quantitative overview of snake venom proteomes. Absolute Abundance Display also facilitates a fast identification of the toxins with the highest medical relevance for a given venom.
